getting it out

in the old days
women would stand out in the back
yard
with their large circular throw rugs
over the fence and beat the dirt
and dust out of them
with brooms.
I would look out my
bedroom window
and see clouds of grey
rising
as the women
many in bathrooms and slippers
pounding away
with bats and brooms.
violently swatting
at the rugs.
it almost seemed like there
was more going on
than just that.
